Dulquer Salmaan's Rapid Rise in Tollywood: A New Competitor for Tier-2 Heroes
Renowned hero Dulquer Salmaan has carved a unique identity for himself in the South Indian film industry. As the heir of Malayalam cinema legend Mammootty, Dulquer has quickly established his own separate fan base within a short period. Proving himself a worthy son with his remarkable acting skills, he has also made significant inroads into Tollywood, gaining a solid fan following. However, it appears that Dulquer is now shifting his focus entirely towards the Telugu industry. Announcing back-to-back projects in Telugu, he seems ready to give stiff competition to Tier-2 heroes like Ram, Vijay Deverakonda, Naga Chaitanya, and Nithiin.
Dulquer as a Rising Hero in Tollywood!
With just two or three films, young hero Dulquer Salmaan has managed to achieve star hero status in Tollywood. His role as Gemini Ganesan in the Telugu film 'Mahanati', directed by Nag Ashwin, impressed everyone. His exceptional performance mesmerized the Telugu audience. Following this, he captivated viewers as a hero in the film 'Sita Ramam'. Playing a soldier, a lover, and a prisoner in an enemy country, his diverse performances have won the hearts of Telugu cinema-goers. Recently, he played a significant role in 'Kalki 2898 AD' starring Prabhas, portrayed as a mentor who plays a critical role in Prabhas's life, akin to the mythical figure Parashurama. Rumors suggest that Dulquer will continue his role in 'Kalki 2'.
Recognition through Dubbed Films
In addition to direct Telugu films, several movies in which he acted in Tamil and Malayalam were dubbed into Telugu. Dulquer Salmaan's films, up to nine in number, have reached Telugu audiences. Movies directed by Mani Ratnam like 'Ok Bangaram', and those he starred in with Sai Pallavi like 'Hey Pillagada', and 'Andamaina Jeevitham' have greatly attracted the Telugu youth, giving them a feeling of kinship with Dulquer. Action films like 'Kurup', 'Salute', and 'King of Kotha' also gained good will among the mass audience. With this, Dulquer has evolved into a hero who embodies a blend of class and mass appeal in the Telugu film industry.
Aggression with New Projects
With his star hero status in Telugu, directors and producers in Tollywood are keen to work with Dulquer. Consequently, he is actively engaging in Tollywood projects with enthusiasm. He is currently working with director Venky Atluri in the film 'Lucky Bhaskar', set to release on October 31. Additionally, he has agreed to a Pan-India project titled 'Aakashamlo Oka Tara' under the direction of Pavan Sadineni, which has already generated interest with its first look poster showing Dulquer in a farmer’s role. Meanwhile, he has started a new project under Rana's production titled 'Kantha', where he will be seen alongside Tollywood's rising beauty Bhagyashree Borase. Set in the 1950s, Rana plays a key role in this film directed by Tamil director Selvamani Selvaraj.

Strong Competition for Tier-2 Heroes!
Given Dulquer Salmaan's momentum in Tollywood, it seems inevitable that he will pose strong competition to Tier-2 heroes like Ram, Vijay Deverakonda, Naga Chaitanya, and Nithiin. Film analysts believe that if at least two of his current three projects hit, his stature will significantly rise. With his classic looks and the capability to electrify action sequences, Dulquer is fast becoming a preferred choice for Telugu directors. Heroes suffering from a series of flops, like Naga Chaitanya, Ram, and Vijay Deverakonda, need to be cautious about the competition from Dulquer.

ANR 100th Birth Anniversary: Celebrating Akkineni Nageswara Rao, the Pioneer of Dance in Tollywood
Akkineni Nageswara Rao (ANR), one of the foundational pillars of Tollywood, needs no special introduction. Recognized as a Dadasaheb Phalke Award recipient, Padma Vibhushan, and Natasamrat, he left an indelible mark on the industry. Born on September 20, 1924, as his centenary completes today, fans globally are celebrating his 100th birth anniversary. Although widely known as a legendary actor, not everyone is aware that he was also an excellent dancer. In fact, he was the one who introduced dance to Tollywood, a fact that might be unknown to this generation. Let’s delve into this special report to learn more about it.
[toc]
The Pioneer of Dance in Tollywood
Looking back to the early days of Tollywood, dance was not a primary focus when the industry first began. Leading actors were not keen on dancing; their focus was entirely on how to act and express emotions to captivate the audience. This was particularly noticeable between the 1960s and 1970s. When heroines danced, heroes would often just stand by, a point of criticism at the time. However, Akkineni Nageswara Rao completely changed these dynamics. While many associate Tollywood dance primarily with Megastar Chiranjeevi, it was Nageswara Rao who laid the groundwork for dance in the industry, making it an essential skill for heroes, matching and even excelling alongside heroines in dance. At one point, seeing Nageswara Rao’s dance, contemporaries like Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao, Superstar Krishna, Shobhan Babu, and Krishnam Raju also began to emphasize dance in their films.
Audiences Mesmerized by Akkineni's Steps!
In the 1971 film 'Dasara Bullodu', ANR’s performance in the song ‘Ettage Unnadi Olammi’ was mesmerizing. Similarly, in 'Bangaru Babu', his dance to 'Chengavi Rangu Cheera' electrified audiences who, until then, primarily enjoyed songs for their auditory appeal. Specifically, his dance in 'Prem Nagar' for the song ‘Nenu Puttanu Lokam Navvindi’ became a trendsetter. Additionally, his competitive dance with Sridevi in 'Premabhishekam' for the song 'Ne Kallu Chebuthunnayi' delighted everyone. He also matched steps with Megastar Chiranjeevi in the film 'Mechanic Alludu'. There’s a long list of such performances, some of which are linked below for a glimpse into his prowess.

Inspired by Nageswara Rao...
Even Megastar Chiranjeevi, known for his dance, was inspired by Nageswara Rao at one point. It’s said that Chiru enhanced the importance of dance in films after watching Nageswara Rao’s movies. In an event, Chiranjeevi made interesting remarks about ANR's influence, noting that after watching Chiru’s dance, one might wonder if his body actually had any bones at all. Over the decades, as Chiranjeevi became a peerless hero in acting and dancing, he carried forward the legacy initiated by Nageswara Rao, which now continues with stars like Allu Arjun, Ram Charan, NTR, and Ram Pothineni.

Interesting Post by Balakrishna
On the occasion of ANR's 100th birth anniversary, actor Balakrishna posted a touching tribute, expressing pride in remembering Nageswara Rao. He noted that ANR's iconic roles and invaluable contributions to Telugu cinema are unforgettable and serve as a guiding light to all actors. Balakrishna urged everyone to express their gratitude for the immense services ANR provided to the film industry, from theater to cinema. His journey is an inspiration to all.

Among the prestigious projects by the famous Hollywood production company Disney, 'Mufasa: The Lion King' is a notable one. Currently in production, the film features Aaron Stone, Kelvin Harrison Jr., among others. The Telugu trailer for this movie has just been released, where Mahesh Babu has lent his voice to the critical character of Mufasa, impressing everyone with his dubbing. The trailer has received widespread praise for how fittingly Mahesh's voice suits the lion. So, what's in the trailer? What are the dialogues Mahesh Babu has delivered? Let’s find out now.
Mahesh's Voice is the Highlight
The production company Disney released the Telugu trailer of 'Mufasa: The Lion King' on Monday (August 26). It starts with "It's time I told you a story, a story of little lions just like you," and dives into the narrative. The trailer explores the brotherhood and friendship between Mufasa and Taka, known as Scar, even though they are not brothers by birth. "Sometimes this cool breeze feels like it's bringing memories from my home," a dialogue delivered by Mahesh Babu catches the attention. "We must fight together; nothing will happen to you Taka, don't be afraid," are among the powerful dialogues delivered by Mahesh Babu that stand out in the trailer. With his comedic timing, Mahesh also entertains in the end saying, "You said something just now," which highlights the trailer. The trailer of Mufasa The Lion King went trending on social media within minutes of its release. Fans and Telugu movie lovers alike are commenting that they will watch the movie in theaters just for Mahesh's voice.

'This Is Very Special to Me'
Mahesh Babu himself posted the Telugu trailer of Mufasa on his X account. On this occasion, he made some interesting comments. "A new dimension to a character we know and love. I am very happy to provide the voice for Mufasa in Telugu. Being a huge fan of this classic makes this very special to me," he wrote. He also spoke about dubbing earlier, saying, "I have great respect for Disney. Mufasa attracts everyone not only as a father leading his son but also as a great king of the jungle. Working with Disney is personally very special to me. I look forward to enjoying this with my children. I am eagerly waiting to watch Mufasa with my family and fans on December 20."
Mahesh in Telugu, Shah Rukh in Hindi
The Hindi version trailer of 'Mufasa: The Lion King' was also released recently. In it, Bollywood Badshah Shah Rukh Khan's son, Abram, has provided the voice for young Mufasa. Interestingly, in the same film, Shah Rukh Khan voices the older Mufasa, and his eldest son, Aryan Khan, voices Simba. Speaking about the film, Shah Rukh said, "Mufasa has a wonderful legacy. He reigns as the great king of the jungle. This role has resonated with me as a father. This movie shows how Mufasa's life unfolds from childhood to kingship. Working on this role again after 2019 The Lion King feels special, especially working with my children." The film Mufasa is set to have a grand release in Telugu, Hindi, English, and Tamil.

Dubbing Isn’t New to Mahesh... But!
This isn't the first time Mahesh Babu has done dubbing; he has previously lent his voice in the background for two films, Pawan Kalyan's 'Jalsa' and Tarak's 'Baadshah.' However, those were not character-specific but were meant to elevate the role. This is the first time Mahesh is fully dubbing for a character. It will be interesting to see how well Mahesh captivates the audience with his voice.
Busy with 'SSMB29'
Mahesh is set to star in an adventurous action movie directed by the legendary Rajamouli. He will appear in a new look, sporting long hair and a beard for this role. Information suggests that the official launch of this movie by Mahesh Babu and Rajamouli is imminent. The film will also involve several Hollywood actors and technicians, making it a highly anticipated project.

Prabhas vs Dhanush: Tamil Star Ready to Clash with Prabhas.. Big Fight Inevitable?
Prabhas continues to reign as the king of the Indian box office, standing tall in collections where no other Indian star can reach. Whenever a Prabhas film is scheduled, other heroes tend not to release their films around the same time. They show interest in releasing their movies either a month before or after Prabhas’s release. Now, a Tamil star hero is gearing up to face off with Prabhas at the box office with his upcoming film, "The Raja Saab". Let’s delve into the details.
Prabhas vs Dhanush
After blockbusters like "Salaar" and "Kalki 2898 AD", Prabhas is returning with "The Raja Saab" directed by Maruthi, set to premiere on April 10, 2025. This marks Prabhas's first foray into horror-comedy, setting high expectations for "The Raja Saab". Meanwhile, Tamil star Dhanush is ready to take on Prabhas (Prabhas vs Dhanush) by releasing his latest film "Idli Kadai" on the same day, April 10 next year, as officially announced by the makers. This sets the stage for a major box office showdown.
Why That Particular Day?
Dhanush himself directs his film "Idli Kadai" (Idli Shop), starring Nithya Menen. Produced under the banners of Don Pictures and Wonder Bar Films by Akash Bhaskaran, the film features key roles by Prakash Raj and Shalini Pandey. Despite Prabhas's presence in the fray, Dhanush has strong reasons to release "Idli Kadai" on April 10. For Tamil audiences, April is significant just like Ugadi for Telugu people; Tamil New Year falls on April 14 next year, coinciding with a long weekend, making April 10 a strategic choice for release. There is no backing down from releasing both "The Raja Saab" and Dhanush's film on that day, and only time will tell who will come out on top.
https://twitter.com/dhanushkraja/status/1854758303399919813
A Potential Setback for Prabhas in Tamil Nadu!
Dhanush has a significant following not only in Tamil but also in Telugu and Hindi cinema. Although Prabhas has a broader market reach, "The Raja Saab" might not face much competition from "Idli Kadai" on a pan-India level. However, Dhanush enjoys a robust market in Tamil Nadu where fans adore him, potentially impacting "The Raja Saab"’s performance there significantly.
More Than a Half-Dozen Pan-India Projects!
Prabhas currently has over half a dozen pan-India projects in hand. Alongside "Raja Saab", he is set to work in "Spirit" with Sandeep Reddy Vanga, "Kalki 2" directed by Nag Ashwin, "Salaar 2" with Prashanth Neel, and "Fouji" with Hanu Raghavapudi. He is also slated for a special role in Manchu Vishnu’s dream project "Kannappa" and has shown interest in a new film with "Hanuman" fame Prashant Varma, whose story Prabhas liked. Moreover, there is buzz about upcoming projects with Tamil star director Lokesh Kanagaraj and Bollywood’s popular filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani. Prabhas is undoubtedly surging forward in his career with these continuous projects.

ANR Centennial: Chiranjeevi Reflects on Past Conflict with Mohan Babu as He Receives National Award
The centennial celebrations of Akkineni Nageswara Rao were held grandly on Monday at Annapurna Studios in Hyderabad. The event was attended by numerous celebrities including Megastar Chiranjeevi, Amitabh Bachchan, Akkineni Nagarjuna, Ram Charan, and Naga Chaitanya. During the event, Chiranjeevi was honored with the 'ANR National Award'. The award was presented to him by Amitabh Bachchan. Subsequently, Chiranjeevi reminisced about a past dispute with Mohan Babu during the Diamond Jubilee celebrations.
What Happened?
In 2007, during the 75th anniversary of the Telugu film industry, the Tollywood community celebrated the Diamond Jubilee event where it was decided to honor Megastar Chiru with a Legendary Award. Actor Mohan Babu made some sharp comments about this. He mentioned that some came to honor him as a celebrity, not as a legend, and suggested, "Write a book defining what a legend is and what a celebrity is and then give awards. Am I not a legend for being the first actor from the industry to serve in Rajya Sabha, for educating 25% of poor students for free, for acting in more than 500 films, and producing 45 films?"
https://twitter.com/lyf_a_zindagii/status/1850924373890552313
What did Chiru say?
Reacting to Mohan Babu's questioning, Chiranjeevi responded strongly. "There are Rama Rao, Raghavendra Rao, Bapu, Vishwanath, and Dasari Narayana Rao; they are the legends. Give the award to them. My peers like Balakrishna, Venkatesh, Nagarjuna, and I are of the same age. Don’t separate me from them by giving me this award. I’ve said before that I don’t want the Legendary Award. However, some objected when I was about to receive it. If I am deemed unworthy, I will not accept the award. I will surrender it in a box and will only take it when I am deemed worthy. By the time of the 100-year celebrations, if I become a legend along with Balakrishna, Venkatesh, Nagarjuna, Pawan Kalyan, and Mahesh Babu, I will accept it. Until then, I bury that award," he stated during the Diamond Jubilee celebration.
What did Chiru say at the ANR event?
At the prestigious ANR National Award ceremony, Megastar Chiranjeevi received the award. Recalling the Diamond Jubilee event, he expressed, "If I consider the Telugu film industry my home, then the opportunity to win came in 2007. I was very happy that everyone agreed to honor me with the Legendary Award. However, due to some adversities, I felt it was not the right time to accept it. I decided to keep the award in a box until I felt worthy. Today, receiving the great ANR award, particularly from Amitabh Bachchan and with my friend Nagarjuna welcoming me wholeheartedly, I feel like I have truly won at home."

‘I was shivering at those words’
Chiranjeevi made interesting remarks about Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan, who presented the award. He noted that whenever something good happens or he receives an award, the first congratulations come from Amitabh. Recalling the Padma Vibhushan award, Chiranjeevi mentioned, "When I received the Padma Vibhushan, Amitabh called me the 'King of Indian Cinema,' which made me shiver. But it filled my heart with immense joy. When I approached him for the role of my mentor in the movie 'Sye Raa,' he immediately agreed without considering formalities (remuneration), saying, ‘No need for that... you are my friend.’"

Mahesh Babu Voice To Mufasa: Mahesh's Roar to Be Heard in Hollywood's 'Mufasa'..!
Among the top Telugu heroes with a massive fan following, Superstar Mahesh Babu stands out. With his next project lined up with the visionary director Rajamouli, expectations for ‘SSMB29’ are already sky-high. However, considering the scale of a film with Rajamouli, it’s well known that such a project takes considerable time. This has left fans disappointed, knowing they won’t see Mahesh on screen soon. Amidst this, Mahesh Babu surprised his fans with an exciting announcement. He has lent his voice to the Telugu version of a Hollywood movie, leaving everyone in awe. Let's take a look at the details.
Mahesh Dubs for the Lion
One of the prestigious projects from the renowned Hollywood production house Disney is 'Mufasa: The Lion King.' Still in the filming stage, the makers are planning a grand release in India. As part of this, they decided to have star actors from various industries dub for the character of Mufasa, the lion. Recently, Disney made an interesting revelation, announcing that Superstar Mahesh Babu has dubbed for the Telugu version of the character Mufasa. The Telugu trailer is set to be released on the 26th of this month at 11:07 AM. With this news, both Mahesh’s fans and cinema lovers are eagerly awaiting the trailer.

What Did Mahesh Say About Dubbing?
Superstar Mahesh Babu shared his thoughts on dubbing for the main lead in the animated film 'Mufasa: The Lion King.' He said, "I have immense respect for Disney. Mufasa, as both a father guiding his son and a great king of the jungle, captivates everyone. Working with Disney is something very special to me personally. I will enjoy this with my kids. I’m looking forward to watching 'Mufasa: The Lion King' on the big screen with my family and fans on December 20th in Telugu." The film features performances by Aaron Stone, Kelvin Harrison Jr., among others. The movie is set for a worldwide release as a Christmas gift.
Who Dubbed in Hindi?
The Hindi version of 'Mufasa: The Lion King' trailer was recently released. In this version, the young Mufasa’s voice was provided by Bollywood's Badshah Shah Rukh Khan’s son, Abram. Interestingly, the voice for Mufasa (in adulthood) is given by Shah Rukh Khan himself, while the voice for Simba was provided by his elder son Aryan Khan. Shah Rukh recently expressed his joy in working on a movie alongside his children. He mentioned that 'Mufasa' holds a special place in his heart. The movie is set for a grand release not only in Telugu, Hindi, and English but also in Tamil.

Dubbing Isn't New to Mahesh... But!
This isn’t the first time Mahesh Babu has lent his voice for dubbing. In the past, he provided his voice for two films: Pawan Kalyan’s 'Jalsa' and Tarak’s 'Baadshah.' However, in those instances, he didn’t voice a specific character but contributed to elevating certain scenes with his voice. This time, however, it is the first instance where Mahesh has dubbed entirely for a character. It will be interesting to see how much Mahesh can captivate the audience with his voice.

Shocking! Small Film 'Pottel' Beats Jr NTR's 400-Crore 'Devara' in Fan Reviews
Ananya Nagalla and Yuva Chandra starred in the latest film "Pottel," directed by Saahith Mothkuri, who was introduced as a director with the movie "Savaari." Recently, "Pottel" has garnered a level of publicity that small films rarely achieve. Released last Friday (October 25), the film has been receiving positive responses from audiences. Viewers commented that the film reflects very natural and real-life scenarios from the past. In this context, a viewer’s comment comparing "Devara" to "Pottel" has gone viral on the internet.
'Much better than Devara'
The film "Devara," directed by Koratala Shiva starring Jr. NTR, was recently released and created a tsunami of collections, grossing over Rs. 400 crores at the box office. Top-notch music director Anirudh worked on this film. A viewer’s comment comparing "Pottel" to "Devara" has been trending online. A YouTuber who went to the theater showing "Pottel" tried to gather audience opinions. In the process, he stopped the audience coming out of the theater and asked how the movie was. The viewer expressed in the video that he liked "Pottel" much better than "Devara." Are smaller films better than big films? The YouTuber asked, to which he reiterated the viewer’s opinion that "Pottel" is better than "Devara." This video is currently going viral.
https://twitter.com/i/status/1849871631818293722
Content is king
Regardless of whether it’s a big or small film, Telugu audiences appreciate good content, which is exactly what is happening with "Pottel." This low-budget film with a solid story is captivating the audience. Recent films like "Aay," "Committee Kurrollu," and "Mathu Vadalara 2" also achieved success in the same way, despite not having big stars or big budgets. However, the Telugu audience embraced even "Devara." Yet, it is intriguing that the viewer expressed a preference for "Pottel" over "Devara."
What is "Pottel" about?
Director Saahith Mothkuri has depicted the rural backdrop of the 1980s in "Pottel," transporting the audience back in time right from the beginning. In the first 20 minutes, he immerses the audience in village life, showing how the lower and vulnerable classes were oppressed and subjected to severe hardship. The film’s approach to caste, religion, and egotistical distinctions between big and small has become a major attraction. The introduction of characters, the love story between the hero and heroine, and other scenes beautifully set up the first half. The second part seems a bit faltering where the director over-emphasized the villain harming the main characters to evoke emotions, leading to scenes that stray from logic. However, the director succeeded in connecting the audience with the underlying message of the story.
Plot
The story unfolds in Gurramgadda village, located at the borders of Maharashtra and Telangana. The villagers conduct a festival for the village deity Balamma once in every cycle and offer sacrifices. It is believed that during this time, the deity possesses Patel (Ajay), the village head, who then prevents the villagers from progressing, particularly in education. On the other side, Pedda Gangadhari (Yuva Chandra) serves as the keeper of the sacrificial animals and secretly educates his daughter. When Patel finds out, he makes the sacrificial animal disappear. He threatens to sacrifice Gangadhari’s daughter if the animal isn’t found by the festival. What does Gangadhari do to save his daughter? Is he able to bring back the animal? What role does Bujjamma (Ananya Nagalla) play in this story?

HBD Anushka Shetty: Her Unexpected Crush Will Surprise You – It’s Not Who You Think!
Is there a heroine in the South who has earned the kind of craze that heroes have? Yes, Anushka Shetty comes to mind immediately. Anushka has made a name for herself in Telugu, Tamil, and Malayalam industries by acting alongside leading heroes and excelling in lady-oriented films. Today is Anushka's birthday, stepping into her 43rd year. Let's explore some interesting aspects of her career.
Anushka, hailing from a prominent Tulu family, never thought she would become an actress. It was circumstances that led her into acting, she says.
Anushka graduated from Mount Carmel College in Bangalore, which is also the alma mater of star heroines like Deepika Padukone, Anushka Sharma, and Mamta Mohandas.
During her college days, Anushka attended a meditation workshop called 'Tapasya' even though she wasn’t particularly interested in it; she went because her father, Vittal Shetty, attended it.
View this post on Instagram A post shared by AnushkaShetty (@anushkashettyofficial)
Anushka Shetty was trained in yoga by her mentor Bharat Thakur, and later chose to make it her profession. She even conducted yoga sessions in Mumbai for a while.
While she was busy as a yoga teacher, Anushka seized the opportunity to act in the Tollywood film 'Super' directed by Puri Jagannadh, starring King Akkineni Nagarjuna.
View this post on Instagram A post shared by AnushkaShetty (@anushkashettyofficial)
Interestingly, Anushka Shetty’s real name is Sweety. She felt uncomfortable when everyone on the set of 'Super' called her Sweety.
Thus, she decided to change her name to Anushka Shetty, which required waiting for a year for her family's approval.
View this post on Instagram A post shared by AnushkaShetty (@anushkashettyofficial)
Anushka Shetty is one of the tallest actresses in Tollywood, standing at 5 feet 9 inches. When she speaks on stage, some of our heroes appear shorter than her.
Whenever Anushka is stressed about something, she engages in an interesting activity to overcome it. She reads her favorite proverbs, which she claims helps her relax immediately, she revealed in an interview.
Anushka Shetty is very punctual and takes her meals on time, which she says greatly benefits her health.
She completes her dinner by 8 PM, which helps her sleep well. She also starts her day with yoga before 7 AM, Sweety revealed her secret.
This yoga beauty, Anushka, enjoys writing poetry in English and has a habit of collecting newspapers related to environmental issues.
Before the movie 'Size Zero,' Anushka was quite slim, but she gained a lot of weight for the role. She has been trying to lose weight since, but the effects still linger.
Unlike most heroines who have a crush on heroes, Anushka Shetty's first crush was cricketer Rahul Dravid, she revealed in an interview.
Sweety has been a fan of Rahul Dravid even before she entered films but lamented that she never really got to meet him.
'Arundhati' was a turning point in Anushka's film career. Its success established her as a leading heroine in Tollywood.
Following that, she starred in hit films like 'Rudhramadevi,' 'Baahubali,' 'Baahubali 2,' and 'Bhaagamathie,' which enhanced her fame.
Anushka revealed in an interview that the offer for 'Arundhati' did not come directly to her. It was only after another actress rejected it that it came her way, though she didn't reveal who the actress was.
Many might not know, but Anushka has released a book with her fitness secrets. 'The Magic Weight Loss Pill' by Luke Coutinho features 62 health tips and weight loss techniques Anushka swears by.
Currently, under the direction of Krish, Anushka is filming for 'Ghaati.' In celebration of her birthday today, the first look poster was released this morning, showing Sweety with blood on her hand and head, smoking a cigar.
At 4:05 PM, the movie team also released a special glimpse of 'Ghaati,' showcasing Anushka in a fierce mass elevation scene, chopping off someone's peak with a machete.

VD12: Exciting News for Vijay Deverakonda Fans.. A First in His Career!
Vijay Deverakonda is one of Tollywood's most popular young actors who became an overnight star with the film 'Arjun Reddy.' With successes like 'Pelli Choopulu', 'Taxiwaala', and 'Geetha Govindham', he secured a solid position in the Telugu film industry. However, Vijay has been facing a rough patch recently, as his last three films, 'Liger', 'Kushi', and 'Family Star', did not perform well at the box office. This makes his upcoming project, 'VD12', highly anticipated not only by Vijay but also by his fans. Producer Naga Vamshi recently made some interesting remarks about this film, turning it into a hot topic in the industry.
In Two Parts...
Vijay Deverakonda is currently working on a film directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri, tentatively titled 'VD 12'. Producer Naga Vamshi has spoken about the film, revealing that it will be presented in two parts. "I am not taking any risks with the Vijay Deverakonda film. We have content sufficient for two parts, and depending on the outcome of the first, we will proceed with the second. Gowtam Tinnanuri has beautifully crafted the story. We are confident it will be a blockbuster," said Naga Vamshi. Interestingly, this is the first time any of Vijay's films are planned as a two-part series, as all his previous films were single installments. If everything goes as planned, fans might get to see sequels in Vijay's career. With 'VD 12' already under high expectations, Naga Vamshi's comments have only heightened the excitement.
The Captivating First Look!
The makers of 'VD12' recently released the first look poster of the film. In it, Vijay appears in a massive look. The caption intriguingly states, "Fate has called... a bloodbath awaits... a new king will rise." Moreover, the makers have announced that the film is scheduled for release on March 28 next year. They are putting significant effort into delivering a theatrical experience and have requested that leaked content not be shared.
In a Dual Role...!
The film unit has announced that Vijay Deverakonda will appear as a powerful police officer in 'VD 12'. A previously released poster in a vague khaki outfit hinted at this role. However, the recently released first look shows Vijay in a local gangster persona, raising questions about whether he might be playing dual roles or if the director is presenting one character in two dimensions. Regardless, Vijay's look promises a mass festivity in theaters.
Vijay's Future Projects!
Aside from 'VD12', Vijay Deverakonda has two more exciting projects lined up. After 'Family Star', producer Dil Raju is set to produce another film with Vijay, directed by Ravikiran Kola. Additionally, director Rahul Sankrityan will helm another project with Vijay set against a periodic genre backdrop in the Rayalaseema region, potentially starring Rashmika Mandanna as the female lead.

Balakrishna's 'Daku Maharaj' Teaser Sparks Curiosity – Is This the Story Behind His Three Intense Roles?
Nandamuri Balakrishna, a name synonymous with mass entertainers in Tollywood, has been delivering a string of hits with his recent mass entertainers. Currently, he is working on a film with director Bobby, known as NBK 109. The film team recently announced the title as 'Daku Maharaj' and released a gripping teaser that gave goosebumps to Nandamuri fans. However, the title and teaser alone subtly reveal the plot of the film. Let's take a closer look.
What’s in the Teaser?
Produced under the banner of Sithara Entertainments by Naga Vamshi, the upcoming film 'Daku Maharaj' featuring actor Balakrishna and directed by Bobby is set to be a Sankranthi release on January 12, 2025. The released teaser starts with the dialogue, "This story isn’t about gods who spread light, nor about demons who dominate darkness, not even about Ravana who played with demons. This story is about a king who waged wars without a kingdom, a Yama wielding a mighty axe, a Maharaja who terrified even death itself." The visuals and dialogues delivered by Balakrishna in the teaser promise an intense action-packed narrative. Fans are excited, anticipating another mass spectacle from Balakrishna.

Inspired by Daku Mansingh...
The role of 'Daku Maharaj' played by Balakrishna is reportedly based on the real life of a person. Moviegoers are curious about who this 'Daku Maharaj' could be. His real name is known to be Daku Mansingh, a famous dacoit from the Punjab and Chambal regions. Amitabh Bachchan once mentioned in an interview that he was quite fearful of Mansingh’s robberies and his ability to escape during his childhood. It’s notable that Mansingh didn’t use the stolen wealth for himself but distributed it among the poor, according to the locals from Chambal.

Is This the Story?
The recent teaser suggests that director Bobby has crafted Balakrishna’s film inspired by the famous dacoit Daku Mansingh. This implies that in the film, Balakrishna's character will likely stand with the people, targeting those who exploit and rob them. He seems poised to cleverly redistribute the wealth taken from the oppressors back to the people. The story is also said to reflect three different eras, raising the question of whether Daku Maharaj will be a central figure throughout the film or just part of one segment.

Balakrishna in Three Roles...
After the superhit 'Bhagavanth Kesari', Balakrishna is back in 'Daku Maharaj', featuring alongside Pragya Jaiswal, Chandini Chowdary, and Shraddha Srinath. Bollywood actor Bobby Deol will appear in a key role, and a leading actor from the Malayalam film industry is also expected to join the cast. The story will reportedly show Balakrishna in three different aspects, promising another level of action sequences. S.S. Thaman is composing the music for this film.

'Kantara' Star Rishab Shetty Beats Chiranjeevi, Ram Charan to Become Lord Hanuman in 'HanuMan' Sequel?
Tollywood star director Prasanth Varma's highly anticipated film "Jai Hanuman" has just shared an exciting update. After much speculation about who would play Hanuman, the filmmakers have finally revealed that Kannada star hero Rishab Shetty will portray the role. The first look poster featuring Rishab Shetty as a powerful Hanuman holding a statue of Lord Rama has ignited immense interest among fans.
The previous film "Hanuman" by young hero Teja Sajja and director Prasanth Varma shook the entire nation. Released pan-India in languages including Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, and Hindi, it became a blockbuster hit. This film, a festive release for Sankranti, outperformed major films and set new box office records, leading to high expectations for its sequel "Jai Hanuman." This has intensified the efforts to cast a notable actor for Hanuman's role in the sequel, keeping the audience in suspense.
Initially, there were rumors that either Chiranjeevi or Ram Charan might play Hanuman, especially after the director hinted at the sequel's direction in the ending of "Hanuman." Reports were that Prasanth Varma had discussions with Yash of KGF fame, but due to his busy schedule with "Toxic" shooting, that combination did not materialize. However, last month Prasanth Varma met with Rishab Shetty and shared the story, sparking his interest in the project. This led to the official announcement of Rishab Shetty taking on the role, further raising expectations. Mythri Movie Makers are producing this big-budget film, and regular shooting will start soon.
Why Was Rishab Shetty Chosen?
Rishab Shetty, as a hero and director of the Kannada film "Kantara," demonstrated his capability on a national level, creating a box office tsunami. Before "Kantara," Rishab Shetty was primarily known in the Kannada industry, but now he's recognized nationwide and even received a national award for best actor. He is currently working on "Kantara Chapter 1," a prequel, in collaboration with a renowned Hollywood VFX company that has worked on successful films like "The Chronicles of Narnia," "The Lion King," and "Batman." This collaboration is expected to bring a new energy to "Jai Hanuman," aligning well with his rising popularity and the pan-India goals of the film.
New Project "Maha Kali"
On another note, director Prasanth Varma's "Prasanth Varma Cinematic Universe" (PVCU) has just announced its third project, titled "Maha Kali" (MAHAKALI). The first look poster released by the makers indicates that this film will be the first female superhero movie in the Indian cinema landscape, directed by Pooja Aparna Kolluru. Produced under the RKD Studios banner by Riwaz Ramesh Duggal, this project adds new strength to our universe. Prasanth Varma’s post hints that Kali Devi will incarnate to battle formidable evil, promising to redefine what superheroes can be.

Rishab Shetty Rumored to Play Hanuman in Blockbuster Sequel 'Jai Hanuman'
The film 'Hanuman' by young hero Teja Sajja and director Prasanth Varma has made a significant impact across the country. Released in Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, and Hindi, it has become a blockbuster hit. This film, which was a Sankranthi release this year, overshadowed even the major star-led films, setting new box office records and resulting in a windfall for the producers. Consequently, there are high expectations for the upcoming sequel, 'Jai Hanuman'. Currently, there's buzz in Tollywood that a pan-India star has been confirmed for the role of Hanuman in this sequel.
Kantara Actor as Hanuman!
The ending of the 'Hanuman' movie itself hinted at what 'Jai Hanuman' would be like, significantly raising expectations. From the beginning, there was speculation that leading actors would star in the sequel, with rumors suggesting that either Chiranjeevi or Ram Charan might take on the role of Hanuman. Recently, news surfaced that Prasanth Varma had discussions with KGF fame Yash, but the film unit debunked these as rumors. However, the latest buzz suggests that Prasanth Varma had talks with Rishab Shetty of Kantara fame for the role of Hanuman. Rishab Shetty has reportedly shown interest in this project, delighting fans about this exciting combination. Yet, this is just an industry leak, and an official announcement is needed.
Is There a Strategy Behind the Star Names?
Since the announcement of 'Jai Hanuman', there has always been some buzz on the internet related to this movie. News about various star heroes being finalized for the role of Hanuman has been circulating for some time. Names like Megastar Chiranjeevi, Ram Charan, Rana Daggubati, and Yash of KGF fame have come up. Now, the latest is that Rishab Shetty has been finalized, but it’s a situation too fluid to confirm definitively. However, industry insiders suggest that this might be a big promotional stunt to keep the hype around 'Jai Hanuman' alive without letting it fade from public interest.
Pan-India Craze with Kantara
The Kannada film 'Kantara', starring and directed by Rishab Shetty, has proven its mettle on a national level, creating a box office tsunami. Before 'Kantara', Rishab Shetty was known primarily within the Kannada industry, but now his name is nationally recognized. He even received a national award for Best Actor for his performance. Currently, he is working on 'Kantara Chapter 1', a prequel to 'Kantara'. The film team is collaborating with a prominent Hollywood VFX company known for its work on successful films like 'The Chronicles of Narnia', 'The Lion King', and 'Batman'.
Mahakali Project
The third project from Prasanth Varma's 'Prasanth Varma Cinematic Universe' (PVCU) was recently announced. The movie, titled 'MAHAKALI', aims to introduce the first female superhero in Indian cinema, as suggested by the first look poster released by the makers. Interestingly, this movie is being directed by a female director, Pooja Aparna Kolluru, and is produced under the banner of RKD Studios by Riwaz Ramesh Duggal. "A new force joins our universe. Goddess Kali takes form to battle the most formidable evil. We will show what real superheroes are like," posted Prasanth Varma, promising an exciting new addition to the PVCU.

Before Jai Hanuman...
Prasanth Varma previously announced that he had 20 scripts ready for his cinematic universe, with the first phase to include six superhero films. Before 'Jai Hanuman', films like 'Adheera' and 'Mahakali' were already prepared. Prasanth Varma also revealed plans to introduce Nandamuri scion Mokshagna in an upcoming film, which would be the second project from PVCU. He confirmed he would be directing this film himself. Prasanth Varma's ambitious approach suggests that he aims to make a significant impact at the box office with a film each year.
